Colors and Emotions
Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life I love them, and they are just as important to me as emotions are Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately related?

The colors that you wear affect you much more than they reflect the people around you Of course, they also affect anyone who comes in contact with you, but you are the one saturated with the color all day! I even choose items around me based on their color In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I need for the day
(17)healthy is to be open to your real feelings Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit your emotions

READING Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions below.
There are many theories of aging, but virtually all fall into thecategory of being hypotheses with a minimum of supporting evidence.One viewpoint is that aging occurs as the body's organ systems
becomeless efficient Thus failures in the immune system, hormonal system,and nervous system could all produce characteristics that we associatewith aging Following a different vein, many current researchersare looking for evidence at the cellular and sub cellular level It has been shown that cells such as human fibroblasts (generalizedtissue cells) grown in culture divide only a limited number of times and then die (Only cancer cells seem immortal in this respect.) Fibroblast cells from an embryo divide more times than those taken from an adult Thus some researchers believe that aging occurs atthe cellular level and is part of the cell's genetic makeup Anyevent that disturbs the cell's genetic machinery such as mutation,damaging chemicals in the cell's environment, or loss of geneticmaterial, could cause cells to lose their ability to divide and thusbring on aging Other theories of aging look at different processes
Chronological aging refers to the passage of time since birth andis usually measured in years While chronological age can be usefulin estimating the average status of a large group of people,it isa poor
indicator of an individual person's status because there isa tremendous amount of variation from one individual to the nextin regard to the rate at which biological age changes occur Forexample, on the
average, aging results in people losing much of theirability to perform strenuous activities, yet some elderly individualsare excellent marathon runners
Another type of aging is cosmetic aging, which consists of changesin outward appearance with advancing age This includes changes inthe body and changes in other aspects of a person's appearance, suchas the style of hair and clothing, the type of eyeglasses, and theuse of a hearing aid Like chronological aging, it is frequentlyused to estimate the degree to which other types of aging have occurred.However, it is an inaccurate indicator for either purpose becauseof variation among individuals and because a person's appearanceis affected by many factors that are not part of aging, includingillness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight
Question 1.In line 5, the word "evidence" refers to
A evidence of aging B evidence of cancer
C evidence of human fibroblasts D evidence of cell division Question2 The word "culture"in line is CLOSEST in meaning to .
A libraries B a special environment
C a society's traditions and values D a toxic substance
QuestionQuestionIt can be inferred from the passage that fibroblast cells . A divide fewer times at later stages in human life
(18)D disfunction in the aging process of the body's immune system
Question4 As explained in this passage, the theory of aging which examines the cellular level would NOT assign which of the following as a cause of aging?
A Mutation B Failure of the body's organ system
C Loss of genetic material D Chemical damage from the environment Question5 The author implies all of the following about cosmetic aging EXCEPT .
A It does not occur at the same rate for all people B It is a poor indicator of chronological age
C Illness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight cause aging to occur D It is described by changes in outward appearance
